Editorial summary

An improved dual-chamber method was used to quantify sorption of three organophosphate flame retardants on building materials, foams and textiles. The paper substantively compares its method and resulting parameters with FLEC and other SVOC chambers, but does not report operating a FLEC.

FLEC use

FLEC method, modelling or validation

FLEC is used as a substantive chamber-method comparator when the authors evaluate their improved dual-chamber approach. The reported experiments use the dual chambers, not a FLEC.
